Ovarian Cysts Cause Weight Gain and Weight Loss Plateau's
natural treatment for cysts that works
Cysts cause weight gain as they imbalance hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and insulin - all of which work together to regulate your metabolism, appetite and cravings making weight loss slow and difficult.
Ovarian cysts are not just a pain that you feel; they contribute to a hormonal imbalance called 'insulin resistance', which results in your body converting more energy into fat. This means you gain weight fast!
Cysts can also occur due to imbalances with the female reproductive hormones oestrogen and progesterone and these imbalances can be a major contributor to weight gain. Oestrogen excess can also lower thyroid hormones slowing your metabolism and making weight loss difficult.
Not sure if your hormones are making you fat?
Why can't I lose weight with Cysts and how do Cysts cause weight gain.
Cysts also contribute to metabolic syndrome. A imbalance in the hormone insulin helps your cells take in glucose and convert it to energy at a rapid rate, meaning you store fat quickly and gain weight at a rapid rate.
Hormonal imbalance such as insulin resistance is a dangerous cycle where your cells become resistant to insulin and can't use the energy. This leaves you with excess glucose and insulin circulating in your blood. The excess glucose can lead to diabetes and the excess insulin then leads to the body storing more fat, increasing the chances of heart disease and stroke.
Another reason you may form cysts and gain weight is 'Estrogen dominance', an imbalance where excess estrogen contributes to excess weight. Read Michelle's story
This can be caused by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC's) that are common in our everyday life. These are environmental pollutants such as hormones in meat, plastics, and chemicals found in household products like cleaning products and make up. These chemicals mimic or block the action of our own hormones, setting the body up for the "right environment" for cysts to form. The problem is that once you have a cyst it can be like a "vicious cycle" as the cyst can continue to feed excess estrogen into your system, meaning you consistently gain and struggle to lose weight.

Salivary Hormone Testing for Cysts
By completing my full online naturopathic health and hormone test, I will invest no less than 45 minutes piecing together your symptoms and really pinpoint what hormones are causing your weight gain and other health complaints. If I feel that further salivary or blood testing via you GP is required, I will make those recommendations.
For example, as part of the process of compiling a natural weight loss program for you, I may suggest measuring hormone levels by using salivary hormone test kits, available from my clinic. Salivary hormone test kits can assist in the proper diagnoses of hormonal imbalances contributing to weight gain and conditions such as Fatigue, PCOS, Fibroids, Endometriosis, Cyst, Menopause and Thyroid imbalance.

What are the symptoms of Ovarian Cysts?
If you suffer from Cysts, you may experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as breast tenderness, pressure and fullness or pain in the abdomen, a dull ache in the lower back and thighs, period problems like painful periods with heavy, irregular bleeding, weight gain and slow weight loss.
You may even suffer from Candida and bloating which can cause cravings and further weight gain.
Ovarian Cysts, what are they?
Ovarian cysts often manifest as an irregularity of ovulation. Normally the ovary develops a cyst that holds the egg every month during the normal menstrual cycle. When an egg is mature, the sac breaks open to release the egg, so it can travel through the fallopian tube for fertilization. Then the sac dissolves.
One irregularity is when the sac doesn't break open to release the egg and the cyst continues to grow. Another type of cyst can form after a successful ovulation when the sac doesn't dissolve afterwards. Instead, the sac seals off after the egg is released. Fluid then builds up inside of it and forms a cyst that can grow up to four inches or more and bleed, twist the ovary or cause pain. Cysts can lower your fertility and make it difficult for you to fall pregnant naturally. Naturopathic treatment of cysts is successful and has helped many women heal their cysts and lose weight naturally.
